What This Skill Does
Connects to the SwiftScholar HTTP API to search, submit, and analyze academic papers. Supports keyword and semantic search, PDF/URL submission for parsing, favorites management, and account usage inspection.
Combines literature search, paper parsing, structured analysis, and personal library management in one API, removing the need to switch between separate tools.
When to use it
- Search for papers on a research topic using natural language
- Submit a PDF URL to parse and retrieve a structured analysis
- Batch submit a list of paper URLs for processing
- Browse and organize favorited papers into named folders
- Check remaining parse quota and recent parse history
